Remote ship performance monitoring and fuel management system

Real-time vessel monitoring – fuel control and operational parameter tracking

Technoton telematics for marine and river vessels provides advanced monitoring of fuel consumption, engine performance, and critical operational parameters of onboard equipment, including generators and boilers. The ship monitoring system helps optimize fuel efficiency, reduce operational costs, enhance predictive maintenance, and ensure compliance with environmental regulations—improving overall fleet performance and safety.

The solution is suitable for small and medium-sized vessels, including tugboats, ferries, bunkering vessels, dredgers, barges, fishing, and service vessels. Data monitoring is available both onboard and remotely via an online maritime telematics service.

The key component of Technoton’s solution is the fuel consumption monitoring system, which enables:

  • Reducing fuel costs and optimizing vessel performance.
  • More accurate CO₂ emissions calculations to comply with environmental regulations.
  • Implementing predictive maintenance, minimizing the risk of failures and downtime.

Technoton offers specialized fuel monitoring telematics solutions tailored for both coastal/inland vessels and long-distance maritime ships, enhancing operational efficiency and safety.

Coastal and Inland Vessels

Coastal and inland vessels monitoring system - Onboard equipment for telematics and monitoring of boats and ships

For small to medium-sized coastal and inland vessels, Technoton provides a standalone monitoring system that offers:

  • Comprehensive fuel management
    Accurate tracking of fuel consumption across all consumers, including main and auxiliary engines, generators, and boilers, as well as precise monitoring of fuel levels in tanks.
  • Operational parameter monitoring
    Real-time oversight of engine performance metrics, generator statuses, and boiler operations to ensure optimal functionality.
  • Navigation tracking
    Continuous monitoring of vessel position, speed and route to enhance navigation safety and efficiency.

Data is collected using Technoton’s sensors and flow meters, with the flexibility to integrate third-party sensors. Monitoring and data analysis can be performed onboard and transmitted via GSM to Technoton’s shore-based telematics service.

The system’s compatibility with protocols such as NMEA2000, CAN, Modbus, Bluetooth, and others ensures seamless integration into existing monitoring infrastructures. Additionally, integration via API into third-party fleet monitoring and management software is available, enhancing system versatility.

Ships for the long haul
